 "Scary wildlife: the two-legged kind in shorts" (about: 2003)
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 1 The Grizzly Marathon was a wonderful race. I had a wonderful time in the wilds of Montana. Lots of fantastic volunteers made the miles go quickly. Glacier National Park is a beautiful side trip not be missed. I would highly recommend this race to anyone who enjoys a challenging and scenic course. | |

"Excellent marathon for August" (about: 2003)
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 2 A well organized marathon supported by the town of Choteau, Montana. A tough course at high elevation. Wonderful support throughout the course. This was my 36th marathon and I was impressed with the organization. Course was well marked, with aid stations throughout. The race director, David Hirschfeld, and his staff did a great job. This area of Montana is really breathtaking with the mountains in the background. | |

 "Atared at rocks, not mountains or bears" (about: 2003)
COURSE: 3 ORGANIZATION: 4 FANS: 2 For an inaugural race, the good folks from Choteau, Montana are to be applauded for putting on a good show. The course was on the tough side, less for the elevation gains (4,100 to 4,900 feet) and more for the poor running surface - good-sized rocks embedded in an undulating dirt road. While I was hoping to see wildlife (the marketers said there was a good chance of seeing grizzlies, elk, mountain lion), I spent most of my time staring at my feet, trying to avoid twisting an ankle. The ascent from mile 8 to 12 was tough, as was the 17 to 19 mile stretch. The weather cooperated nicely - overcast skies (versus the smokey haze the day before from Montana forest fires). The aid stations were ample and nicely equipped. Given that the winning time was over 3 hours, one might say this was a fairly tough marathon. Unless they do something to improve the running surface, I wouldn't run this one again - the bottoms of my feet deserve better! |
